How KFC Was Made from a Gas Station Chicken Recipe

The beard, the glasses, the hair and the white suit. *ICONIC*

He was still hustling and sleeping in his car at 63, what a lad.

The old man went through so much and I’m honoured to have been working there for 2 years as a cook and making the chicken he worked so hard to formulate

It is sad that Kentucky Fried Chicken is gone. When they changed to to KFC they shortcutted everything from the way the Chicken was deep-fried to the way the mashed potatoes were made. I was fortunate to have worked at a Kentucky Fried Chicken in the early 80's.

imagine having such a good gas station, you accidentally built motels and created a famous food chain

This man is the definition of the word “hustle”

I love Kentucky Fried Chicken as I did growing up in the 70's which I still like the orginal recipe. I wish they still sold dinner rolls vs biscuits and wish still had baked beans too.

What an amazing person. This is what we call true struggle and never giving attitude, truly a strong person. This motivates everyone

"He found algebra too difficult" I see you are a man of culture aswell

"Every failure is a stepping stone to something better" -- Harland Sanders. Fantastic Quote.

This actually made me feel a little better, namely the lesson about adversity. I’m in a spot in my own life in that sense too. We see all the superficial images but it goes to show that even huge successes are touched by failure and hardship

6:04 I like how in the ww2 part, he puts sad music then when it’s over he instantly puts on the funky music.

He started his big business at the age of 66. It's never too late folks! Respect for this businessman

Dude got rejected 1000 times and didn’t give up This man is a real man

I can remember my Dad in the 70's, bringing home a bucket of KFC. Its was great. Today...the chicken is not the same. If the Colonel was alive..he would shut them all down. Just not the same !!

This man is the essence of not giving up

Imagine Sanders in his car, crying about his worries as he munches his own KFCs.

here's the absolute short version of this: *NEVER GIVE UP.*

My boss was a limo driver and drove the original colonel sanders back in the day to a kfc commercial shoot in Illinois. He said the colonel sat up front with him and had a great conversation with him and apparently he is a very good guy.

In the 60s and 70s our nearest Kentucky fried chicken was 40 miles away. It was an event to drive there. Back then it was a sit down restaurant with waitresses and menus. A real day trip.

"no, no! I can't understand algebra, its too complicated!" *Calculates the perfect pression and temperature that he is going to use in order to cook something that will totally change the way we see chicken*

I like this dude >Good explanation >Good calming voice >Calm music choice =The best

My first job in the early 80's was working at KFC in my hometown unfortunately it only lasted for one day because being born with mosaic down syndrome it was very intense. However I had the greatest pleasure to meet Colonel Harland Sanders in the mid-70's because I have family in Louisville. KY so my family and I flyed and by than I was very happy to meet him.

Wonderful story. Totally forgot the Canadian connection. 🇨🇦 He kept his Canadian restaurants near Toronto airport in the city named Mississauga where he lived in a modest home and died. He loved his Canadian operations he would just come in at talk to people. He donated some of his money into the local hospital expansion and is referred by staff as The Chicken Wing . Colonel Harland Sanders Family Care Centre, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Paediatrics for his love for children. ❤ 😢🍗🍗

That Gas Station: *Im About To Start This Whole Mans Career*

Got rejected 1009 times Me : got rejected 1 time Me : *if nothing will accept me then i wont work!*

Big respect for this man 👏 he is truly legend what a good inspiration,never give up in life

I wish everyone had the chance to try it back in the 60s and 70s. It was truly amazing chicken then. It's ok now, but a far cry from what it once was. The only way now is to make it yourself. Thank you Colonel, wherever you are! - Ed on the Ridge

Imagine your mom questioning if you’ll ever amount to something because she expects you to have the work ethic of an adult at 10 years old

can we just appreciate how dedicated and humble he was?

Very enjoyable. Mr Sanders never had it easy but what a nice chap he seems to be. It makes me feel glad it worked out for him in the end.

Too bad the old boy isn't around today. I'd love to see him take a tour of his 'underperforming' stores. Heads would roll, I'll tell ya!!

Me: Watches the history of KFC. The Ad: *MCDONALD'S*

Today kfc : oil fryers. OG colonel : Pressure cooker.

Sanders has been through alot, and this journey he has been through is an example for those who want to follow Sander's footsteps. Thxn for giving us history behind KFC. keep up the good work.

Dude Hustled alot and made his Dream Come true what an Inspiration Harland Sanders 🔥.

Mom: Look! You can't even get a job at age 10! Sanders: * helps millions of teen get a job decades later *

By twelve yrs old he had already experienced more hardship than most people experience through their entire lives. RIP SANDERS.

Respect. Harlan's autobiography is a must read for any who enjoyed this video. It will always be a favorite of mine

It seems to me that life is lived in the spaces between the "ups." That's where the adventure is and Harlan Sanders always was grateful for wherever he was.

To those who got to taste a bucket from sanders himself should consider themselves lucky.

This man is a fighter. He made lots of mistakes in the past but he turn out to be one of the most inspiring human being in history.

This story proves that *Always, Hardwork leads to success*

1973 in Lexington Kentucky, I lived next door to an elderly lady named Eula Gibson. In the early days, Colonel Sanders employed her to create recipes for his restaurant in Corbin Kentucky. In 1973, only 3 people knew the recipe for KFC chicken… Sanders, Eula Gibson and one other (unknown). It is highly likely that Mrs. Gibson created the recipe and not Colonel Sanders. As a kid, she would make KFC chicken at home for me and her 7 year old grandson Ford Gibson. 🍗🍗🍗

Pretty sure the brew sent most of us here.

I know Colonel Sanders is a real person but idk I never imagined how he would sound in real life, this video seems surreal to me

What an interesting, challenging, eventful, hard-work, and successful life. He lived during challenging times in the United States, during the depression and world war 2, and kept persevering. This man was exceptional!

What an amazing incredible entrepreneurial story !!! very inspiring, never give up on your passion is the surest way to succeed

and that's a true rags to riches story. his mother would be proud now.

Im so glad he never Gave up Imagine a life without KFC

Never new all the things he had to endure. Amazing story!

8:16 carefully placing the chicken in the bucket so it would sit nicely. Making sure the 1%er's are done right. Hats off to you Col. Sanders !!

Imagine a middle school dropout is more famous and rich then you could ever be

Sanders: "Can I hitch a ride?" GM: "Sure, hop in. So how's life?" Sanders: "Not so good, fired many times and no luck landing a job" GM: "Wanna run a gas station?" Sanders: "Cool!"

"Every failure is a stepping stone to something" beautiful

Sanders is the example of each person has their own timeline of success. No one has the right to question why you're delayed in success.

I actually met him when I was a little kid. Super nice guy. And yeah, he was dressed like that. Lil more info: His wife's restaurant is just outside of Louisville, KY where you can get the 'original' original recipe. It's called Claudia Sanders and if you're driving past Corbin, KY the KFC there has a rebuilt motel room and the original kitchen. It's kind of a KFC museum.

How have they not made a movie about this. "The Colonel"

Imagine a guy that drop out of 7th grade became such a successful businessman while going through depression and world war 2. Inspirational.

It still has the flavor it had when it started, when we drove through Kentucky that faithful day .

This is proof that you don't need algebruh to be successful in life.

imagine firing the guy that just ends up making a famous restaurant to then make more money than you

The owner of the bike shop that I work at was great friends with Sanders! He owned and managed all the KFC chains here in Canada.

Respect for pronouncing "herbs" like it should be. Love your videos and the excellent editing.

"Every failure is a stepping stone to something better" -Harland Sanders

survived the great depression ww2 AND THIS MAN MADE KFC LEGEND BRUH

I barely cried when I came to know about the history of Sanders.... We should salute to him for his struggle n suffering n success

Very adorable Col Sanders!!!

Mom : your gonna fail in life Sanders : imma do what’s called a pro gamer move

And now there’s a gaming console.

Wow USA was once really,, the land of opportunity,, from a farmer to a lawyer without a high school.. Those really were the good old days

Unlike any other competitor, whose chicken can be easily replicated at home, KFC has stood the test of time. To make it at home, you have to get the seasoning right(which is still a secret). That's not just a mystery (though some have gotten mighty close), but also is a question of the adhesion. It has to blend into the flour perfectly also. Then, you have to cook it right. The cooking time has to be precise. Most of all, you have to have a pressure cooker. Good luck on that; they're expensive, hard to set up, hard to clean, and hazardous if you're not careful.

I’m gonna be honest, I though colonel sanders was just a mascot

“Harland! You are 10 years old and cant even hold a job!” Lol. Wow.

And still the best fried chicken in the world. A secret never tasted so good. Thanks Harland Sanders, my taste buds love you.

R.i.p the colonel, one real G.

I will never forget - it was around the time of the great 3 day black out of 1977 in New York City. I was 10. My father said “come on, let’s go get some KFC.“ We walked through the door, and there was the colonel greeting everyone. I couldn’t believe my eyes. It was the first time I probably saw anyone from TV live. And this was… In the Bronx! I actually shook his hand. 😀

What a strong man. The video I needed to get going

That is a man who didn’t know the word quit. RIP sir.

When I was a kid, every time we went to KFC I thought I would get to meet the Colonel. Never happened. 😢

Now lets get the origin story of who made the slogan "Finger Lickin' Good"

Every failure is a stepping stone to something better - this teaches us never to give up we may fail once but not forever ❤

Wow, persistence and determination.

Colonel sanders used to jump the counters at KFC and scream at the employees about how they make the chicken wrong

I wonder what the reaction of his first wife was when her old husband that she left behind became a millionare

Incredibly motivating

Respect. For This Man.

I want to taste the original recipe, I'm sure they've ruined it.

In memory of Sanders,he's one of many legends that make our future better with food.I love him

Legendary! now fastfood around the world cook KFC style fried chicken :). Thank you Sander!

Inspiring story. Reminds us to never give up.

kfc before: made with grandpa's love kfc now: made with preservatives well, all fastfoods are made of preservatives

What a hero and inspiration. He deserved his 90 years.

I'm actually eating KFC as i watch this video and it makes the experience even better! 💯

KFC in the old days: Made with love sincere KFC nowadays: Made only for money with no sincere or love at all
